Meet Our Artists

Amanda
Owner & MasterStylist
Hi, I'm Amanda!
I’m the owner and founder of Valor Salon, and I bring a blend of education, empathy, and a whole lot of fun to the salon experience. As an extension specialist (and someone who wears them myself), I know how to create styles that feel natural, wearable, and totally you. I’m passionate about consultations and love taking the time to really understand your goals—whether you’re a first-time client or someone I’ve grown to love over the years.
Outside of the technical stuff, I’m a big believer in making every appointment feel like a good time. Whether I’m working solo or with my students, we keep the energy light, the conversation real, and the vibes unmatched.

Lacey
manager & MasterStylist
Hi, I’m Lacey!
I specialize in dimensional blonding, lived-in color, and creating those effortless balayage and babylight looks that grow out beautifully. I’m also certified in four different extension methods—IBE is my go-to for healthy, natural results that are kind to your scalp and strands.
Clients love that I meet them where they’re at. Whether you’re in the mood to chat, relax, or throw on a podcast, I’m here to match your energy and make your appointment feel just right. I work efficiently, respect your time, and always bring a calm, cheerful vibe to the chair.
Outside the salon, I’m a working mom and stepmom living in Oxford, juggling life with kids from toddler to college age. I’m a big fan of dancing, karaoke, and “granny hobbies” like crocheting and crosswords. And yes—I’m probably singing the wrong words to the right song, but I’ll do it with confidence and a smile.

Skylar
hair stylist
Hi, I’m Skylar!
I believe great hair starts with real connection. I’m a close listener during consultations, making sure I truly understand what you’re looking for—whether you have something specific in mind or want help bringing your vision to life. I love staying ahead of trends (or honestly, setting them!) and bringing that creative energy into every appointment.
Clients say I’m inviting, easy to talk to, and always bring good energy. I care deeply about making everyone feel included and confident, no matter where you're coming from or what style you're going for.
My style, my story, and my perspective help me connect with clients on a real level—and I love turning that connection into a look that feels so you.

hair stylist
Hi, I’m Erin!
Patience and precision are at the heart of my approach to hairstyling. I love helping clients feel confident through thoughtful color work—especially grey blending and color corrections—and I make sure you always understand the process and pricing before we get started.
Clients often say they feel at ease in my chair. I take my time, listen closely, and bring a gentle, detail-oriented touch to every service (plus, I give a great curl!).
Beyond the chair, I’m a big fan of museums, knitting, and spending time with my cat—who loves going outside as much as I do. Whether we’re chatting about animals, shopping, or weekend plans, I’m here to create a relaxing, personalized experience that feels just right for you.

Bryce
hair stylist
Hi, I’m Bryce!
I’m passionate about creating a look that feels authentically you. With over 13 years of experience, I focus on listening to what you want and offering honest, professional advice to guide you toward styles and colors that truly work for you. I take the time to make sure we’re on the same page, so you leave feeling confident and excited about your hair.
I believe your time in my chair should be about more than just great hair—it’s about creating a space where you feel comfortable and cared for. Whether we’re sharing a laugh or diving into a deep conversation, I’m here to make your appointment feel like a break from the everyday.
When I’m not behind the chair, you’ll find me exploring the outdoors, snowboarding (I was once an instructor in Aspen!), or wood burning as a way to unwind. I love bringing that sense of balance and creativity into my work, ensuring you always leave feeling your best.
Let’s work together to create a style that feels as good as it looks!

Sophia

Hi, I’m Sophia!
I started working in a salon and quickly fell in love with the environment—and I’ve been curious and excited about the industry ever since. I’m currently learning the ropes as an apprentice and have already begun diving into extensions, which I can’t wait to specialize in.
I love being surrounded by people who support my growth. Everyone at the salon values education and takes the time to help me understand new techniques, which makes learning feel exciting and encouraging.
Whether you’re talkative or quiet, I really enjoy working with kind, respectful clients. I’m all about creating a calm, easygoing experience where you feel comfortable and cared for.
Outside of the salon, I love crafting and getting creative in other ways—it’s just another outlet for the hands-on work I enjoy so much.

Addison
Hair Stylist
Hi, I’m Addison!
I’ve always loved the beauty world, but what really drew me to this industry is the people. I’m a total extrovert, and there’s nothing I enjoy more than getting to know clients, sharing stories, and creating meaningful connections while doing what I love.
Blonding and vivid colors are some of my favorite transformations—especially when there’s a pop of pink involved. I also love how a great haircut can completely shift someone’s vibe. Thanks to my mentor, I’ve picked up so many tips and tricks that go beyond the basics, helping me bring extra care and creativity to every service.
My energy is high, my chair is a judgment-free zone, and I’m always down for a good chat. When I’m not at the salon, you’ll probably find me at a concert or music festival, living life loud and colorful—just like my favorite hair.

Hi, I’m liz!
I’ve always loved doing hair and makeup, so pursuing a career in cosmetology just felt like the perfect fit. I’m currently growing my skills in haircutting and highlighting—and I’m excited to keep learning and building strong connections with my future clients.
What I love most about working in the salon is how welcoming and supportive the environment is. I enjoy chatting with clients who are open and curious, and I always aim to bring that same kindness and authenticity to every appointment.
Outside of the salon, you’ll probably find me at the gym or relaxing with a good video game. I’m still early in my journey, but I’m passionate about what I do and excited to keep growing.

Clarissa
hair stylist
Hi, I’m Clarissa!
With a background in the arts, I’ve always been drawn to creativity—and cosmetology felt like the perfect way to blend that with my love for connecting with people. Whether I’m adding a subtle touch or a bold pop of color, I see every service as a chance to help you feel more like yourself.
Assisting has taught me the technical foundations of hairstyling, but even more importantly, it’s shown me the value of building real relationships with clients. That connection is something I truly care about, and I bring a calm, intentional energy to every appointment.
Outside the salon, I’m still creating—whether I’m playing the violin, painting, or writing. Artistic expression is just part of who I am, and I love bringing that same creative lens to the work I do behind the chair.
